OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Table 1
PERSONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Wear protective goggles or a full face shield.
2. Wear protective clothing. Leave no exposed skin.
3. Have plenty of fresh water and hand soap available for use if acid should
contact your eyes, skin or clothing.
4. Remove all metal objects (pens, tools, jewelry etc.) from your body. These
items can create a direct short between the battery terminals and can cause
serious burns.
5. DO NOT carry tools or metal objects in the vicinity of a battery. These items
can fall on the battery terminals creating a high current short. This could
result in a fire, burns, explosion, etc.
6. DO NOT touch your face, eyes or other body parts without first washing your
hands. Battery acid can burn and irritate eye and skin tissue.
7. Use the one hand rule! Keep one hand in your pocket whenever you make an
electrical connection. This reduces the risk of electric shock to the user.
8. DO NOT attempt to open or modify the unit.

If the input rating of a charger is given in watts rather than in amperes, the
corresponding ampere rating is to be determined by dividing the wattage rating
by the voltage rating – for example:
1250 watts/125 volts = 10 amperes

NOTE: Smaller batteries may have screws for terminals (see
illustration below). You may need to purchase smaller ring
terminals for these applications. Do not connect ring terminals to anything
but the battery. Other locations are hazardous.
WARNING: Do not use the BEX-1500 and BEX-3000 on any battery voltage
other than 12V. Do not use the BEX-5000 voltage set to a higher
setting than the battery you are charging. Damage to your battery
will occur.
